I was just looking down the 'scope at a new batch of collected animals, and guess what greated my eyes, seasons greetings. And I was so amazed to find an arcella, tardigrade, daphnia and 3 diatoms and a big load of writing all together under the slide, and all wearing festive gear... well I just HAD to share.

I was thinking of doing a little photoshop editing, but thought against it

Merry Christmas to you all, have a wonderful time with family and friends, and a prosperous new year!_________________Microscope: Watson Barnett Bactil

Hi Kite and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope all went good for you (presents and stuff), and you do not suffer a hangover. I loaded up on Coffee as usual and have so many packages of baked goods from my Amish neighbors that I will take most of it to work to share.

Take care and enjoy the New Year's Eve Celebration._________________Sue Alden

no hangover fortuantely, I was drinking vodka and apple juice, gets you drunk, but no nasty headaches in the morning

New years looks to be the same as last years, leave the house at mid-day New years eve, and come back on the 3rd or 4th

oh, and I am a Quaker, not quite Amish, but I make good cake _________________Microscope: Watson Barnett Bactil

Vodka and apple juice?! There's a new one I have never heard of but I guess it is no different from vodka and orange juice. Back in my very much younger days, I used to drink vodka from time to time, Smart'n Off I believe it was.
